Brilliant entertainment at the Benito Villamarin. It's becoming a bit of a theme this season. If you want to watch exciting football, watch Real Betis. The hosts will count themselves unfortunate to have ended up on the losing side, but Real Madrid showed their spirit with their comeback in the second half.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Real Betis 3 Real Madrid 5 (92 mins - Karim Benzema). That settles the match in stoppage time. Real Betis lose the ball in their own half, with Vazquez squaring the ball for Benzema who does a good job of finishing with confidence. That's it wrapped up.

Is there one last chance remaining for Real Betis in this match? Real Madrid are having to dig deep at the back, throwing bodies in front of shots. What an end to this game.

A WASTE! That wasn't one of Joaquin's best efforts. His set pieces have been excellent this evening, but presented with a chance 20 yards out he scoops a shot well over the target.
87'
That's an unpopular decision from the referee. Joaquin looked to be set to sprint down the left side having won the ball from Casemiro, but the foul is given. That was a soft one.
86'
Well, that goal was somewhat unexpected. Just at the point that the stuffing looked to have been knocked from Real Betis, they score another. This will be all out attack from the hosts now.
85'
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Real Betis 3 (85 mins - Sergio Leon) Real Madrid 4. It's game on again at the Benito Villamarin! Junior crosses the ball to the back post and Leon is on hand to finish! We have a match on our hands again! Betis are now on for an equaliser.

Just as was the case against PSG during the week, Asensio has made such a difference to this Real Madrid team. He has to be considered a first team figure from now on this season.
80'
RONALDO WAS ONSIDE! The Real Madrid number seven was clean through on goal from a long ball by Asensio. The flag was up, but incorrectly. Ronaldo wags his finger. He's right.

Real Madrid deserve a lot of credit for the way they have turned this game around. This is the sort of spirit that has been missing from their performances this season.

Former Real Madrid player Garcia comes on to replace Amat. Betis going for a back four now?

PENALTY CLAIM! Loren is played in behind the Real Madrid defence, with Loren tumbling inside the box under pressure from Nacho. Replays show that it wasn't a spot kick.
